Farmers’ Preferences for New Environmental Policy Instruments: Determining the Acceptability of Cross Compliance for Biodiversity Benefits

This paper addresses the issue of farmers’ views concerning the perceived legitimacy of environmental cross compliance as a governance mechanism. Recent work on the theory of regulation emphasises the importance of the legitimacy ascribed to a regulation in determining the effectiveness with which it can be implemented. The current study outlines a rationale for why this motivational question should receive attention in economic studies of policy design and reports the results of a survey of 102 arable farmers in East Anglia, UK, which investigated the level of support for the principle of cross compliance for biodiversity objectives. It was found that two attitudinal factors, referred to as ‘Stewardship Orientation’ and ‘Technological Beliefs’, were by far the most significant in determining the acceptability of cross compliance in the sample, and that structural and socio‐demographic factors were considerably less important. The study also identified clusters of farmers according to their overall attitudinal orientation. Of the five groups thus categorised, four appeared on average likely to reject cross compliance as a general principle, leaving only the most ‘Environmental’ cluster in support. The policy implications are discussed and some conclusions drawn.

Design of economic information. A pilot study of accounting information in decision-making processes

Accounting information is developed for an analytic decision-making process, whereas many farmers use an intuitive process. The aim is to determine the decisions and parts of the decision-making that farmers use for accounting information, and to what extent accounting information would be more useful if it was designed to fit the decision-making process used. A limited sample of milk-producing farmers in Uppsala County, Sweden, was studied. For detecting scale problems, the values of the financial statement were of primary importance and the design of the profit and loss statement was of secondary importance. For detecting efficiency problems, the values of the profit and loss statement were most important, the content of the commentary information was the second most important, and the design of the financial statement was the third most important. Farmers using an intuitive decision-making process perceived problem detection to be easier if the information was designed to fit the intuitive process. However, farmers using an analytic decision-making process did not perceive problem detection to be easier if the accounting information was designed to fit the analytic process. Also they valued the information designed for the intuitive process.

苏南农民工社会保障的实证研究

苏南农民工社会保障虽略好于江苏全省情况,但仍存在不少问题。苏南民工就业劳动合同签订率低,大部分农民工未参加任何社会保险,参加医疗、养老、工伤、失业、生育和综合保险的人数比例低。苏南农民工主要就业于私营、个体和股份制企业,就业于集体、国有企业的也有一定的比例。农民工平均工作时间长,而月收入仅相当于本地居民平均收入的60-80%。其原因,除了劳动力过剩、城乡两元体系和关系网络外,主要是由于农民工受教育程度低,工会组织不健全等。

论农民合作社的萌生与发展——基于农民利益的视角

农民合作社的萌生缘于农民自身利益的严重受损,这一点可以从国内外农民合作社发展的经验事实中得到佐证。农民合作社的这一内生性特征,必然使之与农民的利益息息相关,它应当以维护农民利益作为自身发展的根本价值取向。不管是从党的政策来看,还是从有关法律规定来看,国家更加扶持农民合作社发展的主要目的,显然在于维护农民的切身利益。然而,我们决不能因农民合作社在一时一地的成功,而形成对农民合作社发展全局的误判,以至于天真地以为所有的农民合作社都是农民的＂福星＂。     

从基金暂停申购看投资者权益保护

开放式基金制度设计的初衷是赋予投资者自由申购赎回的权利,只有在特定情况下才能暂停申购以维护持有人权益。本文深入研究了我国开放式基金暂停申购的各种情况、背后的原因以及对投资者权益的影响,认为基金管理人在暂停申购决策过程中具有较大的自主空间,可能利用暂停申购,实现自身利益最大化而损害持有人利益。为规范基金暂停申购,维护投资者权益,本文建议应加强对基金管理人的监管和约束,细化基金暂停申购的具体规则,完善暂停申购信息披露制度,改进对长期暂停申购基金的评价方法等。
